FXWARS: SUPERPOWERS! Mathew Foscarini

#1

I’m thinking of doing a complex multilayer compositing effect. Something like Storm freezing a city, or a super stronge guy bunching the earth causing an earth quake, or a girl that has the power to cause a meteor shower.

Basicly I want to destroy a city. I’m feeling very destructive lately! :slight_smile:

The character will have the power to trigger the event, while most shots will just show the city being destroyed. I might place the super hero on top of a building so we can pull back so show the city.

I will be working mainly in Combustion with layer effects created in 3D Studio Max, and maybe some fluid effects created in Maya.

P.S. It’s a super hero, but the city is full of bad guys! So it’s OK for the super hero to destroy it. :thumbsup: lol.

Welcome to the challenge and good luck to you!

This time I’m going to spend more time on the actual “FX” then story and editing. :slight_smile:

Thanks. I don’t know how much I can get done, because I am getting married in a couple of weeks and will be away on vacation afterwards. So my entry will just be a few seconds in length, but I hope to get something entered.

#11

Further development of the tornado.

It does have that Maya look to it. I’ve seen some nice tornado’s done in Maya, but this was done in 3D Studio Max R8. Nothing special, just the standard pflow.

My effects shot will be taking place more from a persons height of perspective. Right now I’m just testing the over all structure of the tornado.

The shot actually happens in a parking lot, and the tornado moves in from the background ripping things up.

Congrats on the wedding!

You’re test footage promises a very very cool entry, but you might want to do something about the instanced geom popping out of the ground like that especially since the shot perspective will happen at ground level.
